Chord Electronics, a world leader in digital audio, haslaunched Mojo. A contraction of ‘Mobile Joy’, Mojo is a headphone amplifier andDAC (digital-to-analogue convertor) that empowers smartphones to deliver musiccontent at up to studio-master-tape quality. Mojo enables this due to Chord’s advanced proprietarydigital signal processing technology. Low-cost, widely available apps, such as Onkyo’s HF player(iOS and Android), now make high-resolution music file playback easy from allsmartphones. Mojo connects to these devices digitally, processing the filesusing the most advanced conversion technology available, to deliver genuinelyunrivalled sound quality to up to two pairs of headphones. Mojo is entirely designed and manufactured in England usingBritish expertise. It distils 27 years of high-performance audio know-how intoa single mass-market device designed to empower the smartphone. Mojo is themost advanced device of its kind in the world. Get your Mojo workin’ Mojo connects digitally to smartphones and similar devicesin a number of ways. It offers three different high-resolution digital inputs:Micro USB, optical and a 3.5mm coaxial input. Input selection is fullyautomatic: if more than one input is active, they are prioritised as USB first, coaxial second and optical third. A Micro USB to USB cable is supplied with each Mojo andChord Electronics will be offering consumers a range of approved, low-costconnecting cables for iOS devices and various other digital connections. Fast charging Mojo utilises new high-temperature battery technology, giving much faster charging (up to twenty hours’ faster than competitor units). A full charge is reached in just four hours via USB, giving around ten hours’playback; Mojo's charging Micro USB port has a battery status and chargingindicator light, too. Compact, portable, aircraft-grade aluminium Mojo’s ultra-compact form, based on Chord’s award-winningHugo platform, has been designed to be easily operated with no confusing orsuperfluous switches. Its simplicity means anyone can enjoy high-end soundquality straight out of the box. Mojo's casework is machined from solidaircraft-grade aluminium and has a hard, fine Matt-black finish that does notfinger-mark. High-resolution file playback Mojo is capable of playing all of today’s music formats, including the very latest high-resolution standards. It can deliverbreath-taking realism from any digital music file: PCM; WAV; AAC; AIFF; MP3 andFLAC. It is designed to work with all smartphones and music players and coversspecialist high-resolution formats such as DoP DSD files: DSD 64; DSD 128 andDSD 256. Mojo’s three high-resolution digital input options comprise optical(to 192kHz), plus Micro USB and RCA (mini-jack) which operate at up to anincredible 768kHz. Proprietary technology Mojo uses the new Artix-7 FPGAchipset from Silicon Valley’s Xilinx, making Mojo the most advanced DAC of itstype on the planet! Unlike other audio products, that process digital filesusing crude off-the-shelf chips from Asia, Chord uses an FPGA — a programmablecircuit that enables its skilled engineers to directly implement its owndigital audio expertise, making Mojo unique in the marketplace. Spherical coloured buttons Mojo uses spherical buttons for power on/off, volume controland file frequency information. The spheres illuminate and cycle through arange of rainbow colours. The file frequency is shown clearly by an indicatorcolour option on the power switch: from CD-quality (44.1kHz, red), 48kHz(orange) and so on, up through a rainbow of colours to bright white for DSD. Volume levels are similarly represented using colour.
